(Old school player play being pressed)Opening with everything acting normal out side everyone acting normal camera follows Dan into house mark and Lewis sitting at table facing each other as Dan sits at the top of the table as a plate is placed in front of him. As song kicks in plate starts to flicker into a mixing desk Lewis and mark still facing each other lip syncing words to each other cut back to plate completely changes to the mixing desk as desk spins round whole image spins round to showing Dan using the Dj desks while cutting between dance and stuff happening outside (day to day life) maybe flash mob? Chorus is done by lip sync Dan Lewis and Mark swapping with different parts. Last part is a rewind of parts to where Dan sitting back at table with the plate wondering what just happened.

Big update since i last updated this my last entry was about my idea changing and was going off to film the dance stuff for once i was able to get the dance footage i needed and more has i got a kid doing staff tricks mixed with dance moves. as this song had a catchy chorus i was able top do a lip sync involving Dan Lewis and Mark i filmed that a few weeks later in one shot in the megapixel car park. I was ready to start logging and editing my footage when i had started to edit i was able to use the stuff i had filmed but only for the middle and parts of the end nothing i had really fit the start and the begin so i was stuck i didn't know what else i could use i tried to go along with the song using the Freestyler name of the song as a inspiration for a use of color to make it randomly colored then came up with the idea of neon UV scene.

It was a good idea but took a lot of work to get the footage i first looked around for the paint but then thought im going to need a UV light for any of it to work but the lights where 25pounds to buy and i didn't really want to do that so was kinda stuck till i spoke to Charlotte and she asked at her work if i could film it there as she worked at Laserhub and the whole area is lite up by UV lights.

Came to the day of my filming at Laserhub i got Lewis Dan and Mark to wear white tshirts as they show up best under the UV light also sprayed UV paint on the shirts also had 40 glow sticks that where shared between the three of them. we filmed in the area a few times and the last time we did it was as if they where stuck in there and was running away from the camera.

The next day i started to log the new footage i then started editing it into what i had already done i had to cut a few parts i had already done so it didnt look as if i added the UV parts at start and end so i sort of storylined based it with using the running parts to give it a story as if they where trying to get of the place and using the exit at the end. when filming i filmed apart with using the 40 glow sticks to spell out the name of the song and who it was by which i was able to use as it went from darkness to normal light to change to UV which worked rather well to what i needed even thought the normal lights coming on wasn't planned so i was able to use a f look that happen when filming.

I have no finished my music video and is now making sure all my paper work is up to date with everything new i have included.

Name of Song: Imma shine
Artists: YoungBloodz
Track Length:3mins 37seconds

Format: Mini DV

Audience: all ages mainly dancers and people who like freestyle sport also the type of song

Story Resume:

Start with a time laps out side a hall from day time till night fade into the hall showing a man sweeping the floor man goes to out the door and turns lights off. Music starts along with different lights (disco lights) turning on one by one starting of with dancers (ballet dancers) when beat kicks in on song more up beat dancers come in (lyrics get to the door ) change to outside to a car park also a basket ball coaght where people will be playing basket ball too which is still at night with cars with there lights on as lights come on by the cars having a bike rode into shot into a trick which follows with loads of freestyle dance with tricks be form in the back ground parts when it cuts back to the heavy bass it will be shown played out of a sub out back of a car as violins kick in near to the end its all back into the hall using ballet dancers freestyle dancers and street dancers mix up as song fades out dancers disappear lights fade to darkness then man comes back with his broom turns lights back on but nothing there lights go back off and finish



Most of the video will be shot in colour at parts it will be in black and white as I want as the turns turn on to show the change from old age to new hip colours as I will be using disco lights. The only light I will be filming in will be from the disco lights also car lights so I will have to make sure everything is lit well to be able to see whats going on in shot.

Everyone like the dancers will be dressed in normal dance customs but the street dancers will be colour coded with bright colours almost neon like basket ball players and bmx riders will be wearing a kind of street look clothing also street dancers will be too.

Dance will be creographthed by Shaun Angel and my self

50 Cent AYO Technology feat Justin Timberlake

50 Cent AYO Technology feat Justin Timberlake
Directed by Joseph Kahn

Rap and Hiphop

The lyrics seem to about using technology to watch women which in the video shows a lot of different moments where it happens like when there’s an xray image of the car with the women in it giving of a sexual nature. Also there are parts which are done in night mode which are in the green light as if we are seeing what is happening though the technology in night vision


At the start of the video it cuts from 50 cent and the establishing to the beat of the intro tend to happen a lot though out the video with it cutting back to main parts when they are singing to little parts which go along with the beat of the music.


The instrumental isn’t showed as it’s a hip-hop video which tends to be just a beat which normally isn’t showed being played by anything.


The video keeps most of the same pace though out due to the beat staying the same. But there are parts where things are slowed down which are only small parts like when they are singing while spying on the women


There are loads of close ups of 50 cent and Justin Timberlake when they are using a piece of technology and when they are singing solo parts like when 50 is singing at the start it just has a close up of him. I think the way they are going about selling it is due to having two big main stars which are well known make a track together its bound to be something everyone would want to here. 50 cent always has a video to make him out as if pimp which one of his songs are called pimp.


The whole video is to do with sexuality due to them using the girls in the video in a sexual nature veouim by men looking at women though like cameras and binoculars


The music video is more to do with the artist due to him having many music videos like them which has gave him a the personal image that its how he is well that’s what we think of him might be a completely different person.

Paramore-Brick by boring brick




Paramore-Brick by boring brick link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A63VwWz1ij0

General textual analysis of Paramore Brick By Boring Brick

Introduction
Artist: Paramore Brick By Boring Brick
Directed By: Meiert Avis

The genre of this video is "Rock"(pop/punk to some)

What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
The relationship between the lyrics and visuals are that its set in a like fiarytale place which near to the first words are "she lives in a fairytale" also using the word "she" is related to using the little girl used in the music video also goes on about wings of a butterfly which through out the little girl is wearing them."shovel dig a deep hole" also used in the video of a man digging a hole when ever it goes back to hayley williams sing. There is also alot of fairytale characters which are simlair to ones which are in kids films but slightly different due to it being a rock song.In the song she goes on about a castle which at a point is where the girl turns up so the video really more shows a story behide the song we are listerning to.

What is the relationship between music and visuals?
The intro of the song is also used as a intro to the place in which the video/scene is set which leads us into where everything is happening in this fairytale place.the little girl running at the start is near running to the drum beat before it nicely cuts into to another scene where Hayley williams starts singing.The cuts bettween hayley and the little girl gives off its her when she was little and the sort of fairytale/nightmare dreams she used to have well thats my view. though out the whole video it doesnt show any one playing a music
instrument its more based on putting a cross the story they are trying to tell use in the song.
Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
Since paramore did the soundtrack to a hit movie Twlight there videos have been very strange as in they havnt done anything normal its more been based on a fairytale land like this one with it, it helped promt thier new album which just came out not long before this video was realsed. this video is a bit different compared to some of the others as its more of a story than seeing them play instrurments along with things happening in the video like they did in "Crush crush" "misery business" and others.All videos and mainly foucus on Hayley Williams she doesnt give of a
sexual display but shes a infulnce to mainy girls as she has her changed alot and is liked very much by loads of people as its different to any normal hair style. nothing in the video gives of a sexual nature due to it being a clean video which is set in a fairytale place.
Is there reference to the notion of
looking?

I dont think this video relates to any other music video ive ever seen due to it being unnormal using the complete song as a story normally music videos consid on having the whole band playing in one scene then cutting to some thing else but this doesnt sure it goes back to her singing alot but also shows more of the story with the guy still diggin the hole.The whole video has paramore wrote all over it due to it being unnormal to anyother music video.

Is the music video performance-based, narrative-based or concept-based?

over all i think its a awesome video so i feel its 50 50 with the perfomance and
narrative
